Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

A new advanced technology in regenerative medicine utilizes the patient’s own platelets rich plasma (PRP) which can repair and rejuvenate without drugs or medications.

Dr Georghy has been using PRP since 2004. In April 2013 the clinic was equipped with the latest technology platelets separation unit, called ‘ANGEL’. Angel is a fully automated and closed loop system (minimal risk for cross-infection). Angel is the only FDA approved medical device”. The patented process of Cytomedex (Angel) renders the highest platelet counts and biologically active growth factors, such as: PDGF, TGF & VEGF, etc.

How does PRP therapy help?

The body’s first response to soft tissue injury is to deliver platelet cells

To create PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn (similar to a lab test sample) and placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, separating the platelets from the other components

The concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing signal

Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction

The PRP therapy may be beneficial for:

Aging skin: On the neck, around the eyes, backs of hands and arms, décolletage & chests; other body skin areas

PRP ‘FaceLift’ (fat is harvested from wherever the patients have the extra pocket of fat that they want to get rid of; the fat is taken out from the body, processed, mixed with PRP, concentrate it and injected back; instead of fat, the above procedure can also be done with macromolecular dermal fillers).
